Free Angela! Free All of Us!

The plight of Angela Davis had become everyman’s, everywoman’s battle. Black and poor people throughout the world had become united around defending the rights of Angela, for it was all so clear. It was clear that she had been falsely charged.
It was clear that the reasons for those charges had little to do with the August 7th Movement as much as they had to do with the larger movement of the masses of oppressed people inside the U.S. and around the world to be rid of oppression.
Here was a young intellectual Black woman that had been educated so well by America, but it was not educable to America’s racism, fascism and greed.
If an Angela Davis were to remain able to speak out for too long, there could be real trouble.
Everyone saw what the state was doin.
